Simulate Error Method

The Simulate Error method simulates the occurrence of an error. Note the following:

• If an Error statement runs, and if code to handle the error does not exist, then Siebel VB creates an error message and stops code from running.
• If an Error statement specifies an error code that Siebel VB does not use, then it displays the following error message:

  User-defined error

Format

Error errornumber

The following table describes the arguments that you can use with this method.

Using a Custom Error Code

A custom error code must use a value that is greater than any value that Siebel VB uses for a predefined error code. To avoid using a predefined error code, it is recommended that the value you use for a custom error code start with 32,767. For subsequent custom error codes, you can work down from 32,767.

CAUTION:  Do not use any error code in the range of 4000 through 4999. These are predefined codes for Siebel VB methods. For more information, see Siebel Object Interfaces Reference.
